Setting Up a DataView Filter

To launch the DataView Filter Setup form, click Filter on the DataView IDO Setup form.

To build the filter:

Select the Property Name of the IDO to be evaluated.
Select the Operation Method.
If you select Is Null or Is Not Null, the comparison field and value do not need to be specified.
Select the Comparison Type:
- Literal: The property is compared to a hard-coded value.
- Property Name: One property of the IDO is compared to another.
Specify a Comparison Value.
Click Add to translate the information from the fields into filter syntax, and show them in the editor box. Click Remove to erase the content in the editor box.

For complex comparison logic, it may be necessary to add parentheses around OR and AND statements, to make sure the filter is evaluated properly. To accomplish this task, manually edit the data in the editor box.

Because this is a modal form, clicking Cancel does not save changes. Click OK to save changes.

NOTE: To get a better understanding of how filters can be used, look at the vendor level DataViews provided as part of the application installation.
